The Guitar Hero® community website (http://community.guitarhero.com) is one of the largest production RoR sites on the Internet with 600,000+ registered users. We will cover the process, programming, and infrastructure for the Guitar Hero® community site. You’ll see how we’ve been able to integrate data from three largely different Guitar Hero® titles in a consumable fashion on the web.
